Using lies and deceit in order to make some sort of personal
gain, can only lead to misery and despair. The Gypsy Queen
“The Gypsy Queen” was a Latino folktale that originated many years ago in a small Mexican village, and teaches us the life lesson that is still used in today’s culture: using lies and deceit in order to make some sort of personal gain, can only lead to misery and despair.The Gypsy’s deception throughout the folktale to gain the love of the prince caused her to be severely punished in the end.She shows this trait whenever she makes the prince believe that she is actually his maiden instead of just a lowly gypsy girl.The Gypsy’s morals in the story are blocked out by the overwhelming love she has for the prince, and the fact that she’ll do whatever it takes to get what she wants.The girl is just a lowly peasant looking for a way to be with the prince, until she finds a way to trick him into marrying her and making her a princess.The Gypsy lacks the common ethics, or moral standard that is required to realize that the lie she is live could cause harm to herself and the people around her.She doesn’t realize that by lying to the prince, there is a chance that her dishonesty could turn against her and lead her down a path of misery and despair.Without thinking things over, she turns the prince’s maiden into a beautiful, pure, white dove and convinces the prince that she is actually the gorgeous damsel and not just a mere peasant.The Gypsy girl’s careless; guilt free, deceptive nature ends up leading her to her demise in the end, and finally leads the girl to her death.Many people today try to get out of punishment, or receive exactly what they want through deception. When we make the mistake of lying to get out of a detention, but end up getting caught in the end, or your friend finds out you lied in order to gain an object of theirs for your own use, we will have to be ready for the heavy, and in the gypsy’s case, fatal consequences that lie ahead.If we wish to live a full pleasant life filled with joy and happiness, then we must make sure to always think of what the outcome in certain situations will be if we are untruthful, and we must keep high morals in situations where there are temptations to lie and deceive for our own personal gain.
